A lot of recent topics have been about 402's statement that mods will be fixed with MW2. Now there are manys ways to go about fixing the mods but first I though I would explain how mods work, since a lot of people seem clueless.

First of all, I wont go into detail on how to make modded controllers, but I have made many and I know how they work. Essentially, what your doing is rerouting the wire connected to your trigger to a seperate button and then routing a wire from that button to your trigger. This allows you to press down on the button and it will "tap" the trigger at an extremely large rate. There known as "Always Open" momentary push buttons. The chips that are installed on newer modded controllers are just like the modchips that are put into the consoles themselves. These allow the use to hack through and bypass certain sercurity measures. If MW2 does what I hope they do, this will not help you.

I want to make this as simple as possible because so many people don't understand how this works.

Lets say you have a timeline. This timline is how many times you can press the trigger per second which represents the rate of fire cap.

Cod4:1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10
So a Normal person can shoot between 3-6 easily. Mods shoot at 10.

WaW: 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8*..9..10
This is the same rate of fire cap, except that now if you shoot faster than 8 for a an extended period of time, it will mod lock you to about 2.

This is very important for people to understand. All your mod chip does, is bypass this *. It does not bypass the 10. Your mod is still capp'ed by the games programming.

So how can MW2 fix this? Simple

MW2: 1..2..3..4..5
Now a modded controller, even with a modchip, can only go to 5 as that is the CAP. I know it makes it unfair to legit trigger fingers, but too bad. Your the minority. Most of us use automatic weapons anyways.

Lowering the rate of fire cap can prevent modders. If anyone used a M16 with a Mod, will understand that the rate of fire cap is different because its a burst gun. It doesnt make the M16 automatic. No matter what chips you have, your controller will still be forced to work under the games programming.

Im sorry for the long post, but the "You will never stop modders! we have usb thingers!" threads were getting really difficult to keep track of. Hope this helps a little.
